Bell Ringer: Analyzing an Image

1944 Nazi Propaganda Poster

Discussion

On Friday, you read the following text from a propaganda leaflet that was allegedly distributed in Nangarhar Province in Eastern Afghanistan.


What is the author doing to try to get readers to take action?
Analyze the text from the leaflet in Afghanistan. How does the writer craft the text to appeal to his audience?

Independent Practice

• Even in fiction, we sometimes see evidence of these persuasive appeals. Check out, tor example, Cassius speech to Brutus in Julius Caesar.
• Read the speech and analyze the use of the rhetorical triangle. Complete the graphic organizer.
